good book to learn a/b the presidency

I bought this book for class. It turned out to be really informative a/b the passed presidents. May probably be moot now that we have a new president, but it's nice to know what the previous presidents did

A good overview of the changing face of the Am. Presidency

I have this book as a text for a political science class I'm taking at the Rochester Institute of Technology. Though a bit pricey at $40, I truly find this a solid read. It should be appropriate for all levels of reader, though it seems to be geared towards those with at least basic knowledge of the American political system.
